I am currently in Whangarei at my parents place for a few days and the weather here is lousy as well. Luckily they have a heat pump that keeps the place nice and warm.Yesterday I collected my tickets from the travel agent and I have been slowly gathering the bits and bobs I need for my travels but apart from that it's all pretty quiet.

On arrival in Nepal I will stay a few days at the Kathmandu Garden House before venturing further afield. I have stayed here before and it's a well run place just outside Thamel. And while it's close enough to walk down to all the shops and restaurants it's far away enough to not be bothered by the rampant noise, especially at night when the badly played "live" music starts up.
